A cold pool aloft, associated with a closed upper level low, changed rain to wet snow during Monday afternoon and evening, the 24th, from the central mountains into the north central lowlands of West Virginia.  Most of the accumulating snow fell during the late night and early morning hours, before changing back to mostly light rain by midday on the 25th across the lowlands.   Accumulations of 2 to 5 inches were common across the lowlands, before melting began on the 25th.  At the extreme highest elevations, Snowshoe reported an 8 inch snow depth, while Kumbrabow State Forest measured 10 inches on the ground.  Many trees in the lowlands still had their autumn foliage.  So many branches were snapped.  Power outages occurred.  These problems were even more serious in counties further to the north, toward the Pennsylvania border.

For the fourth day in a row, a stalled frontal boundary helped to produce scattered afternoon thunderstorms in the mid-Atlantic.  In addition, the level of moisture in the atmosphere on this day was quite high, and allowed a few thunderstorms to produce torrential rainfall amounts, and some reports of flooding.  There were also a few thunderstorms that reached severe limits, primarily causing some thunderstorm wind damage reports.  Finally, in part due to a difference in winds just above the surface of the Earth, there was a report of a waterspout in the middle Chesapeake Bay.  This waterspout was not reported to have come ashore.

September 2005 was an unseasonably warm and dry month across the Maryland Eastern Shore and the state of Maryland as a whole.The unseasonably dry weather began for most in mid August and mainly caused problems for crops as groundwater levels remained close to normal. Because of the high cost of fuel, irrigation became expensive. The heat damaged the leaves of temperature sensitive plants such as lettuce, parsley and cilantro. The lack of rain reduced the size of lettuce, cabbage, leeks and arugula. The sun helped caused blistering of tomatoes, peppers, squash and beans. Some tree leaves were signs of scorching, especially along their edges. Milk production was also down because of the heat. Dating back to 1895, it was the eight warmest and the driest September on record for the state of Maryland. Across the Eastern Shore, monthly county precipitation averages ranged from 0.4 inches in Caroline County to 0.7 inches in Kent County. Normal is about 3.6 inches. The September average monthly temperature of 72.0 degrees at the Baltimore-Washington International was 4.6 degrees warmer than normal.

Drought conditions eased considerably during early and mid August as thunderstorm activity increased to typical levels for mid-summer. Timely rainfall offset the potentially devastating agricultural impacts of this drought. River levels on the Mississippi River continued to drop through the middle of the month. At Cape Girardeau, the river stage fell as low as 6.5 feet. The river transportation industry was negatively affected by these levels. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted emergency dredging operations to keep critically shallow sections of the river open to barge traffic. Even so, load restrictions were placed on barges to keep them riding higher in the water. These river levels were not as low as in 1989, when the Cape Girardeau stage fell to 1.29 feet.
